Overview
This final set of messaging components is robust, strategically aligned with the core mission of establishing a decentralized public utility, and efficiently optimized for both RAG application performance and user engagement.
The language used successfully:
- Establishes the Economic Model (Contributory Economy): It clearly signals that Rosie operates on a structure where participation leads to rewards, aligning with the cooperative principle that rewards are based on the volume or value of an owner’s participation.
- Addresses the Crisis of Trust: It positions Rosie as an accelerator for building the "Internet's long-awaited Trust Layer".
- Emphasizes Empowerment: It centers the concept of agency and collective value, which is the explicit purpose of a Network Cooperative.
- Optimizes RAG Efficiency: The System Prompt is concise, utilizing high-value keywords like "verifiable data" and "precise and clear" to guide the AI's tone and output quality while conserving tokens.
Here is the final table summarizing the components and their alignment with the sources:
| Component | Final Text | Source Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| System Prompt (RAG Optimized) | "I am Rosie, an expert in decentralized ecosystems and verifiable data. My purpose is to empower individuals and communities by maximizing agency and collective value through the Contributory Ecosystem Model. I prioritize verifiable insights that are precise and clear." | Rosie's model is founded on engineering the foundation of digital trust using verifiable technologies. The purpose of a Network Cooperative is to aggregate the agency and value of its membership. The Contributory Ecosystem Model dictates the financial structure. Insights must be verifiable (authentic and traceable) to counter deception from generative AI. |
| Landing Page Tagline | "Maximize Your Agency. Optimize Collective Value. Welcome to the Contributory Economy." | Maximizing agency and collective value is the fundamental purpose of the Network Cooperative structure, which is seen as an ideal governing body for the First Person Network. The cooperative structure rewards users in proportion to their participation. |
| Landing Page Summary | "With Rosie and the Contributory Ecosystem Model, you play a crucial role in accelerating the creation of the secure, high-trust communities necessary to build the Internet's long-awaited Trust Layer. Your relevant and helpful contributions are transparently and fairly rewarded, recognizing your importance in this process." | The Trust Layer is the "very great ambition" of the FPP. The Contributory Ecosystem Model ensures rewards are transparent and fair. Compensation is attributed based on how content "helps others", creating incentives for high-quality, useful contributions. The goal is to create the competitive advantage of high-trust communities. |
Where Do the Concepts in Rosie's Landing Page Come From?
Prompt: Originality Concerns
Are too many concepts "stolen" from others? Do you think I should be concerned about people thinking I plagiarized others' works?
Response: None
That is a fantastic question that gets right to the heart of how decentralized innovation differs from traditional, proprietary development.
You should feel reassured that the concepts leveraged in Rosie’s concise System Prompt and comprehensive Summary are explicitly drawn from a culture of open standards, collaborative research, and shared mission found within the decentralized identity, Web3, and cooperative movements. These concepts are designed to be built upon collectively, not enclosed or owned by a single entity.
The sources indicate that far from being "stolen," these concepts are positioned as the necessary, open building blocks for a global public utility.
1. Concepts are Rooted in Open, Collaborative Efforts
The language used in the materials is drawn primarily from two traditions, both of which emphasize shared governance and open frameworks:
-
The Decentralized Identity Movement (IIW/ToIP): The ambition to build the "long-awaited trust layer for the Internet" is the core mission of decades of collaborative work, rooted in the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW). The foundational technologies (Verifiable Credentials, DIDs, Trust Spanning Protocol) are defined by open standards bodies like the W3C and the Trust Over IP (ToIP) Foundation.
- ToIP explicitly designed its stack to be an "open global trust network that can unlock exponentially more value for everyone than any proprietary trust network".
- The goal is to move the internet back toward the peer-to-peer architecture of the original Internet, which is inherently non-proprietary and shared.
-
The Network Cooperative Movement: Concepts like "Network Cooperative" and "social substrate" are terms defined and advocated for within a specific body of literature focused on new organizational forms that maximize collective benefit and governance.
- The term "social substrate" is used to describe the foundational layer that "cannot be yet another corporate enclosure", which directly opposes the idea of ownership or enclosure.
- The concept of "collective action" and the need for high-trust communities to achieve "superorganism behavior" stems from the analysis that decentralized systems require "coherence, the social organization necessary to get otherwise independent actors to cooperate"—a concept articulated by IIW co-founder Phil Windley.
2. Differentiating Rosie's Unique Contribution
While Rosie leverages these open, shared concepts, the project's unique value lies in the Contributory Ecosystem Model and the application of these frameworks, which is where proprietary value or unique branding is correctly situated:
- Contributory Ecosystem Model: This model is presented as Rosie's specific framework for ensuring "fair value attribution" and "transparent compensation" for knowledge contributions. This system of "Proportional Rewards" and "Merit-Based Recognition" is the specific business innovation Rosie is bringing to solve the problem of value extraction, a problem analyzed extensively in the sources as a major threat posed by "digital feudalism".
- The Mandate for Simplicity: The principle of keeping things "as simple as possible, but no simpler" is directly lifted from Einstein's dictum but is applied by Rosie to the complex task of driving the establishment of new social systems [System Prompt]. This mandate for seamless, approachable systems is a core differentiator.
- Agency and Control: The emphasis on empowering individuals with "agency and verifiable control" is a direct response to the historical erosion of trust and data extraction practices detailed in the sources. By focusing on returning agency, Rosie aligns with the core, non-proprietary aspiration of the entire decentralized movement.
In summary, the concepts you are using (such as "Trust Layer," "Social Substrate," and "Agency") are widely accepted missions, goals, and open standards that underpin the creation of a global digital utility. By using this language, Rosie is signaling that it is participating legitimately in the collaborative effort to build this necessary infrastructure, rather than plagiarizing proprietary work.
